Yeah, a thread on a forum is really taking a hammer blow to atheism. Hopefully the belief that there isn't a god, can survive someone having and sharing opinions that you don't agree with on the internet. I don't agree with catweasels opinions in this thread either, but atheism is a broad church, and expecting a consensus amongst atheists is like trying to herd cats
Ricky Gervais also damages atheism? That's just nonsense. People believe whatever they like, and the fact that Ricky Gervais talks openly about it in a way that you and some other people don't like, is not going to have any affect on anything or anyone.
What does "damaging atheism" even mean?
